Google Docs #a11ychat

Are you joining us on Monday?

We are thrilled to host our monthly tweet chat about the accessibility of Google Docs alongside guest moderator Shawn Lauriat, a software engineer for Google since 2011.

This month's chat will be held from 4-5 PM EDT (please note that this is a change from previous months). If you are new to the #a11ychat, it is a monthly chat where experts from Deque lead a chat around specific topics related to accessibility. Our tweet chat guide can help you get started.

If you are interested in reading past transcripts, they are available on Chirpstory. You will see that we have talked about both broad topics like Audio and Visual Accessibility as well as more niche topics like accessibility compliance for Federal Agencies.

For over fifteen years, Deque has been helping major corporations, government agencies, and other organizations ensure that their websites and mobile apps are accessible to everyone. We have more than fifteen years of history of serving the federal government, including undertaking the biggest accessibility program that's occurred in the United States government or anywhere. Deque also works with .edu's and mission-focused nonprofits to ensure that their materials and systems are usable and barrier free for users with disabilities. The company invented the first accessibility plug-in software, the first web-based testing platform, and the first server-based accessibility solution. All of these have been created in the service of helping our customers become accessible, advance the goals of their organization, and remove barriers for all users on the web.
